architecture and sustainable design
about me I believe architecture is beautiful as it is the intersection between math, science, art & design. Having studied art for many years, architecture is a new kind of experience for me, designing spaces for people to live and interact. Unlike many of the other arts, architecture requires a lot of teamwork which I really enjoy. Working with my friends, professors and colleagues has enabled me to learn more and push the boundaries of my creativity.

future of housing The future of housing and it’s past. Our studio will build a vision of the future of housing based on an understanding of the past, with one key historical fact driving our investigation: Singapore has been and will be a high-density, high-rise nation. The vision we create will be a next step in a bigger history of over-coming the difficulties of high-rise, high-density urbanism to create thriving, vibrant, livable homes in the sky. The near future will not be without challenges. Looking forward we have identified three primary challenges for our students to take on as they imagine the future of housing: demographic shift and aging, climate change, and the economy of automation. We will respond to these challenges by studying existing housing typologies and adapting them – to make them more social, more sustainable and resilient, and better adapted to the flexible, creative and globalized work environment of the mid 21st century. A 3-dimensional neighborhood, on artificial land: While the primary output of this studio will be the design of high-rise housing, we would like to recognize the importance of urban context and neighborhood to the success of housing. A master-planning exercise will allow us to image the neighborhood of the future, here in the East, not far from SUTD. Our site will be on a proposed artificial polder island to the south of East Coast Park, within a larger masterplan developed by ONG&ONG

the future of housing Located at the intersection of multiple activities, these residential blocks aim to be a transitioning point from the business of the area, to the rest of the living areas in the precinct. The site contains the Highline, LRT station and a small water catchment area. Furthermore, it sits at the edge of the residential area, where it overlooks the adjacent agriculture land. The duality of spaces (live-work) act as a transition from the LRT to the further residential blocks. The business of the interchange, followed by the serene urban farming lands. The blocks are also north-south facing, to minimise direct sunlight from the rising and setting sun. This north orinentation also faces the on coming winds, giving a good opportunity for much natural ventilation. Being in a tropical climate, passive cooling systems would be essential to create spaces that are comfortable to live in.

Horizontal terracing opens up the atrium space between the 2 blocks. And a residential green space is also formed.

daylightful mixity Designing a gateway building to an emerging zero-carbon innovation district. The proposed program of the studio, distributed over around 10,000 sqm, is meant to enable a spatial formalization of the main entry to the blueFactory district in Fribourg, Switzerland. The blueFactory site also hosts the Smart Living Lab research centre and the NeighborHub building, laureate of the Solar Decathlon 2017 competition. This particular project site will allow us to develop a design proposal that embeds the district’s ambitions of being a model of sustainable neighborhood with an overall zero carbon goal. The studio will explore programmatic mixity (permanence of the plan/grid, relation between program and typology, space use vs. footprint, importance of public space…), program reversibility (change of use) and the values of mixity (serendipity encounter spaces, specialization vs open-use…). The program brief will be an opportunity to question concepts of evolving working and living typologies. It will integrate about 25% of residential space (including cooperative and innovative housing), about 25% of hospitality space (studios and small apartment units, restaurant), and about 50% of mixed-use workspaces (co-working, workshops, research and startups, retail, fitness, meetings, cultural spaces, FabLabs, food court, etc.).

This project aims to be a common ground for all, from innovators and entrepreneurs to students and families, and enable the building to be a portal into the innovation district. The porous design will allow natural light to penetrate into the building, and creating open spaces which allow programmes to accommodate varying sizes and spill into each other.

cccda Reconnection of the building construct to new technology terrain calls for new narratives/scenarios that enable the architect to associate new roles/meanings to buildings. To be explicit in this argument, the studio draws parallel to the creation of science fiction. The existence of this genre requires a demanding level of “World-Building�, where writers/screenwriters sets a new understanding of how the world works, using aspects of history and timelines, politics and religion, civilization’s development, technological development and its consequences, cultures and other settings (i.e. biology, ecology, geology, astronomy, architecture, populations). The stories that then unfold in science fiction novels or movies are enabled by the rules and values that World-Building affords it. The studio believes architects need to be centre in the creation of a new narrative where buildings and the built environment exists in an increasingly invisible, digitized world. The genesis of this new narrative will come from the task of designing a building for the Centre of Contemporary Cultural Digital Archive (C.C.C.D.A); an institution that is yet to exists, and at current reading, presents conflicting identities.

CCCda The cultural centre for digital archives serves as a physical manifestation of memories that have been digitalized. With the amount of data recorded by us, future technology allows people to have their digital recordings and images made tangible. Data stored in the cloud and uploaded by users can recreate one’s surroundings in the virtual world. Users can once again experience past memories like they once did and the CCCDA provides the space and equipment for the most realistic 5 sense recreation of past experiences.
CONCEPT The 3D scanning and recreation of environments through photos.

The task is to build a timber cantilever in a 1:1 scale. The structure should aim to maximise its load bearing capabilities as well as being as light as possible. It would be tested by it being mounted onto a wall on 4 points and weights are added on its roof to test its strength. 5mm and 3mm plywood are the materials provided and the production of the structure is to be done by CNC.

The project task is to build a light fixture. We decided to explore by showcasing the quality of materials and craftmanship. Dichroic flim was used and it is the main feature of Spectrolite. The dichroic film has a special property that reflects different hues when light hits its surface at different angles. Hence, a simple geometry was designed to compliment this effect. It is designed as a wall scone to increase the area where light from it could bounce off for a more interesting accent lighting effect.
